March 29, 2011This Link will take you to the Newest Poston the "tigermachine".It ia about changing to theBoss R 19" Wheels, GT-500 Brakes Complete.Hurst Shifter Mod with MGW Mechanism.Steeda Ultra-Lite Springs.

I stayed at the Guest House while the Bullitt was being Modded.There was at times two Techs. (Mike & Dave) working on the Bullittat different times. Mike (Primary Tech) started on the Bullitt as soonas they opened and stopped when they closed. He took a Very-Smalllunch break and was right back to work. Dave also as I said workedon it some while Mike was working on a different area.

This is an overlay showing the (Flywheel Horsepower) in "Yellow".This is what you (Usually) read in Magazines on all vehicles like theShelby GT500, SS Camaro, SRT8 Challeger, Charger etc.Gives you an idea of just how STRONG this 2008 Bullitt Mustang is.

Here are the things I did "Before" I went to BRENSPEED in Preparation for the (Increased-Power).

Custom Limited Edition Plate along with Strut-Tower-Brace

has been Removed

Here is the New Custom Plate

"Exact-Duplicate"

Custom Plate fits right inthe Rectangle Box

New Tires that are the Exact same ones that came on the GT500Mustang.

Painted for 1-week underneath every Rusted place I could find. It was so HOT I had to cover up to keep from Scorching my Legs onTop and Bottom against Asphalt Driveway.

Installed H&R Hub Centric 25MM Front & Rear Wheel Spacers.

The rear spacers go on with (No-Problem) & Wheels fit GreatBut the Front Spacers fit okey but you have to "Cut" Off yourexisting 5-Wheel Studs. They stick out to "Far". This is how youshould do the cutting. High Speed Dremel Tool W/Cutting Blade.Look at this Pic and notice I left the Wheel-Lugs on next to theLug I was Cutting-Off. This way No-Messed up Threads.

Here are the Pieces that were Cut-Off. Notice they are differentHeights.

This pic shows the Finished Product. After cutting those Lugs off.You have to then use the Dremel with a Grinding-Wheel. To makeall the Cut-Off-Studs as close as possible to the same (Length).You, Do-Not actually Cut or Grind any of the (Threads). You areonly working with the end of the studs before you get to the Threads. Takes time but (Not-Hard) to do.

I sent my 2-Back Stock Wheels to James at Weldcraft to have them(Widened). They were 8.5" stock and they added 1.5" to make them10" Wide. Shelby GT500 has 9.5" Wheels Front & Rear.I know many of you are interested in this so you can retain theStock Wheels, so here are many Pics of the Widened Wheels.

Here are the 2-Rear wheels Mounted & BalancedThis one took only 1-Weight

This one took 2-Small Weights

Here is the (Front-Side) of the Wheels as I removed them from theVery-Well-Packed Box.Notice, Not a Mark, Period !!!

Here are 2-Pics of the Box they came back in.They were (Double-Boxed) and then had Bubble-Wrap.

Here I am arriving at Comfort Inn

Bullitt W/Brenspeed Cover on

Next morning getting ready to pullcover off & Leave

This is interesting I think. These Pics were takenby a former Ford Engineer that was traveling.He saw the Bullitt the night before andwas waiting when I came out to leave.I started it up to let it Warm-Up andwhen I came back out he was checking theBullitt out.He shot these Pics and was Excited over the way the Bullitt now Sounded and the NewH/P & Torque figures.

I drove back to BRENSPEED Performance andwaited for Dyno Don to show-up fromIndianapois, IN. He was going to drive the Bullitt back andthen feed me at The Crackle Barrel

Here's Don getting the 08 Bullitt Keys

Good Times !!!

Oh,From trying to follow Don on the way to Indianapolis, IN. I think he was havinga Great time. Or it certainly Sounded like it from where I was sitting. He will have to tell what He thought.

I have a smile a mile wide across my face just looking at your pictures - I can't imagine how wide your smile must be! Thanks for sharing the creation of your dream car! Wishing you a million miles of fun!

But Al's Son, Aaron purchased them and the Steeda "Billet" Delete Plates from BRENSPEED.
He is going to do some Performance Mods to his New Shelby GT this coming summer.
So, he is in the process of gathering his parts as money allows.
